What a press release on The Font World is

A press release is a formal announcement your organisation issues to share news. Unlike sponsored content, which tells your story at length, a release leads with the news itself: what launched, when, who’s behind it and why it matters. We publish it as a clearly labelled announcement so readers know it’s brand-supplied rather than independent coverage or a review.

What to include

• A clear, specific headline that states the news, not a slogan.
• The essential facts up top: what, who, when and why it matters.
• At least one quote from a named spokesperson or designer.
• Concrete detail — typeface name, styles, formats, licensing or partner.
• Specimens, a logo or images, and a contact for follow-up.
• Accurate licensing terms; nothing misleading.

How to submit a press release

1. Prepare your release — lead with the news and include the key facts and a quote.
2. Send it via the contact page or [email protected], noting any embargo.
3. We review for accuracy, compliance and clarity and confirm timing.
4. We publish and label it to our design readership as a brand-supplied announcement.

When to send your announcement

Time your release to the news: a typeface or family launch, a major version update, a funding close, a notable partnership or an award. Send it ahead of the moment with a clear embargo if you need coordinated timing. Announcements land best when the news is genuinely new and the details are locked — a release that has to be corrected later costs more attention than it earns.

Press release vs sponsored content vs editorial

• Sponsored content — a longer branded article telling your story in depth.
• Independent editorial — our own reviews and reporting, decided by editors and never for sale. See get featured.

Pricing

Press release distribution is priced by scope, format and placement rather than a single flat fee — a standalone announcement and a coordinated launch are different jobs. Tell us what you’re announcing and request current rates and turnaround.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Burying the news under marketing language — lead with what actually launched.
• Misrepresenting licensing terms, which we won’t publish.
• Vague partnerships or milestones with no verifiable detail.
• Sending a sales pitch when the format calls for news.
• No specimens or contact, so the story can’t be assessed or expanded.
